Psyclone is PCW's newest spinning, twirling ride. It is actually a pendulum spinning ride that takes you up to 120 feet in the air while simontaneously spinning on a giant disk. It's a special Mondial prototype called Giant Frisbee, and it's exactly what the name says. The entrance to the ride is unique, almost like one half of the Golden Arches, but with red tubes conected together and the psyclone sign at the top. |

 |
|
| The ride is composed of a giant arm (which is the pendulum), and a round disc/hub at the bottom that consits of 10 straight segments with suspended style seating four people per segment, for a total of 40 seats. Each segment is painted alternating red and white, representing Canada. The ride will start off by slowly spinning either clockwise or counterclockwise, and the main arm will swing from left to right again and again, and then it picks up speed faster and faster until it reaches the 120 degree angle pinnacle of the ride. The ride is located in the small newly renovated section near Kingswood Music Theatre, the new area is called Action Zone and includes The Orbitor (formerly Sol Loco, an enterprise ride, no more mexican theming) and a new interactive attraction called Cyber Sez. The area is themed to strong colours of red, green, and yellow. |
